Our Wedding

On October 14, 2006, Ray and I got married.


It was a gorgeous day and a beautiful ceremony, very emotional for the two of us and apparently all the participants.

The weather was magnificent all day, although a chilly breeze came up in the afternoon. I didn't mind however, since it brought along a few clouds that looked great in the pictures.

We actually just saw the pictures, and they're beautiful too.

The ceremony was short but romantic, sweet, and emotional. The Justice of the Peace was able to sing our song, The Rose, live and it was beautiful. The sun was setting during the ceremony and the colors of the fall were absolutely stunning. We lucked out and picked the weekend when the foliage colors were at their peak!

The reception also was beautiful, and both Ray and I had a blast. I spent virtually the whole time on the dance floor and really had the time of my life.

Everything worked out perfectly, the ceremony, the weather, the reception, the food, the music, the pictures. Overall, we couldn't have hoped or wished for a better wedding.

Besides my parents, 3 friends came from Italy, Vittorio, my Best Man, Fabrizio and Fabio. They left one by one, and by the end I was very sad they had all gone back, but I couldn't be more grateful that they had come all the way from the other side of the world to be with us on our special day.

They are all special people and special friends. And I'm so, so happy my parents came too. We had a great time together and they finally met the kids after two and a half years of hearing me talking about them. Needless to say, they loved them and bonded right away.

Now it's back to the usual routine, and I'm already looking forward to the next visit, whether it'll be here or there.

And to our married life together.
